Skipped posting yesterday, was just a bad day. Awful day at work, got home slightly late, went immediately to bed after shooting with a terrible migraine that had me nauseous and in tears. Numbers were meh, Gizmo was cranky and uncooperative, and I was fed up with the litterbox having to be changed after only 4.5 days. Feels like for every part of this diagnosis I try to cheapen, I find another thing that is putting me further in debt.

This morning, Gizmo made the executive descion that today is the day we stopped using both the AT2 and the relion, by making me waste 2 AT2 strips being a pain in the butt, which were the last 2 I had since the new box wasnt delivered until this afternoon. So today was the Relion meter only. And unless I need to run numbers for the vet, I'm probably gonna keep it that way.

No luck catching him at the litterbox yet to test for ketones. I've tested Widget a few times now because I can't believe he is responsible for all this pee but her numbers and blood are perfectly fine so I guess he really is just an overachiever.

I was a jerk and accidentally overbrushed him with the furminator on Sunday. Found out the hard way you can brush a bald spot with those :( Its not totally bald but I brushed away about a 2 inch patch of all the underfur by mistake because he was purring so hard when I brushed that spot and I thought it would only brush away excess fur. He doesn't seem to care but I feel awful every time I see it.
 
Sorry for the bad day yesterday. :bighug::bighug::bighug: I can relate.. most here can. FD is hard.

Think of the furminator as Gizmo's summer cut. It will grow back.
 
I've debated having Widget (the civvie) get a lion cut for summer because her fur is so thick and she sheds so much but she is terrible about grooming, she leaves Gizmo to do it and then his hairball situation gets out of control. Since we cant do laxatone for him now I'm not sure what I'm gonna do if she doesnt put on her big girl pants and start taking care of herself!
 
I wholeheartedly thumbs up the lion cut if Widget is prone to getting matts, or has trouble grooming. I had a long haired Calico, I used to spend hours trying to get rid of her matted fur, she was so patient, until she wasn't, she'd swipe at me and say enough :rolleyes:! Think of it as the summer hair cut :)

I'm sorry about the bad day, they happen now and again, and it's all right to be frustrated, we've all been there, and sometimes we go backward too, but tomorrow's another day :bighug:
